In a case where the back cover is configured with a combination of a plurality of members, the rigidity of the back cover can be improved, and in particular, in a case where a portion of the plurality of members is made of metal, the rigidity thereof can further increase.

Meanwhile, there are problems that, in a case where the rigidity of the back cover is weak, the large display device among the display devices may have increased warpage, and in a case where the thickness of the back cover increases to increase the rigidity of the back cover, the weight and material cost of the back cover and the display device increase.

SUMMARY

An objective of the present invention is to provide a display device which is capable of being lightweight and in which a corrugated panel can be reliably fixed to a module cover.

A display device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a display panel; and a corrugated panel facing a rear surface of the display panel and having a corrugated core disposed between a front skin and a rear skin. The corrugated panel may have a plurality of first holes formed between the front skin and the corrugated core, and have a plurality of second holes formed between the corrugated core and the rear skin, and, as an example of the corrugated panel, the plurality of first holes and the plurality of second holes may be long in a vertical direction.

The thickness of the rear skin may be equal to or thicker than the thickness of the corrugated core.

The thickness of the corrugated core may be equal to or thicker than the thickness of the front skin.

The display device may further comprises a module cover for covering between the display panel and the corrugated panel; and a first adhesive member for fixing one of the front skin and the rear skin to the module cover.

A nut may be fixed to the second core and recessed portion.

A recessed portion which is in contact with the second core may be formed on the rear skin, the recessed portion may have a step with a portion of the front skin which is in contact with the first core, and a nut is fixed to the recessed portion.

A bent portion bent to protrude in the rear direction can be formed on the corrugated panel.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of first holes between the front skin and the corrugated core and a plurality of second holes between the corrugated core and the rear skin can be formed to be long in the vertical direction, respectively, so that the deflection amount of the corrugated core can be minimized and the corrugated panel can reliably support the display panel.

In addition, the first body of the module cover can shield the gap between the rear surface of the display panel and the front surface of the front skin, the second body of the module cover covers the rear surface of the rear skin to prevent exposure of the rear skin, and the second body of the module cover can protect the rear surface of the rear skin.

In addition, the second adhesive member may be attached to the rear surface of the OLED and the front surface of the front skin, so that the OLED can be directly fixed to the corrugated panel by the second adhesive member.

In addition, since the corrugated core is thin, the corrugated shape can be easily formed, and the formability is high.

In addition, the second body of the module cover can be reliably fixed to the front skin and the display panel and between the front skin and the display panel, respectively.

In addition, since the first adhesive member and the second body are accommodated in the recessed portions formed in the front skin, the step between the front surface of the front skin and the front surface of the second body can be minimized, and the overall thickness of the display device can be minimized than a case where the second body is positioned outside the recessed portion.

In addition, a nut can be press-fitted into the second core and the recessed portion formed the front skin, so that it is possible to minimize the contact of a front end of the nut with the display panel.

In addition, a nut can be press-fitted into the recessed portion formed in the rear skin, so it is possible to minimize the damage of the display panel due to the nut.
